Hi,
is there any way to limit the number of triples returned by a DESCRIBE
query? The LIMIT clause of sparql obviously applies to the number of
result bindings, but each result binding may lead to an arbitrary
number of triples.
Consider the following queries against dbpedia:
SELECT ?concept WHERE { ?concept rdfs:label "Berlin"@en . } LIMIT 1
returns one result, whereas
SELECT ?concept WHERE { ?concept rdfs:label "Berlin"@en . } LIMIT 2
returns two results. Now,
DESCRIBE ?concept WHERE { ?concept rdfs:label "Berlin"@en . } LIMIT 1
returns 28 triples describing dbpedia:Category:Berlin, while
DESCRIBE ?concept WHERE { ?concept rdfs:label "Berlin"@en . } LIMIT 2
returns some ~4500 triples because it includes the description of
dbpedia:Berlin.
Any suggestions how I could limit the number of triples returned by
such a query?
Best, Bernhard
